How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?

I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks.

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks

How to make a pdf (form) accessible for reader in Adobe Acrobat x pro?

Hi guys, i have bit of a problem here as i am new to the Acrobat pro X
Using Acrobat pro 9 i always could save a LiveCycle pdf form with permission to fill and save as a reader user. now i have upgraded to cs6 and i have no clue how to do that anymore. The half of the options are gone and i can't access the older Acrobat pro anymore.
Does anyone know how to save a pdf form using Acrobat X for adobe reader users giving permission to read and save my pdf files?

For Acrobat X go to File-> Save as->Reader Extended PDF
This will embed the reader extended rights in PDF.

How to make writer PDF form accessible to other users?

Hello,
I have created a form in Adobe Professional version 8. Actually I created it in Word and converted it online to PDF.
In the Adobe 8 version I am able to type and complete the form fields, however if I share it with anybody else, who has a lower version, they are not able to do so.
The purpose of my document is to post it on a website and it should be used as a request form that just can be saved, completed and send as an attachment by email, so no printing.
Can someone please advise what I should do?
Thank you.
Best regards, Elke
[email protected]

Hello,
I have started to create a form with Adobe 8 Professional with the form option. The creation took place via adobe lifecycler designer.
I can type and save the form now but once I send it to someone else, with a lower PDF version, they are still unable to do so, they can print it but not save, complete, save and return the completed form to me.
Let me know what I should enable to get this done.
I wish I could just attach the form so you could have a look at it, is that possible?
thanks

How to open the PDF form in the same browser window

Hi All,
I have created a webdynpro application to display a PDF form.The form is displayed in the new window.I want it to be displayed in the same window.
How to make the PDF form to be displayed in the same window
Thanks
Ponnusamy P

Hi Ponnusamy
Earlier there was <b>_self</b> as the target property for LinkToURLUIElement, but it is not available anymore,instead we need to use exit plugs
there is one way to do
1) Create a viewset of type Grid in your window
2) Create a new view with iFrame added to it
3) Specify number of columns/rows as per your requirement
to the viewset Suppose 1 Column and 2 Rows
4) In the second row embed your view which has iframe
Using Plugs[Inbound and Outbound] you can view your PDF in the same window.
This is not solution but this is one of the way to achieve your need

Dynamic .pdf forms

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find an application for my Curve 3300 that is able to render Adobe Dynamic XML Forms (it's a .pdf form, but it is created using LiveCycle Designer and has dynamic content that makes finding a renderer difficult.)
I've tried the free trial of beamberry, and it isn't able to render the form... I get a "you need a newer version of adobe reader" error.
Has anyone else out there had the same issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Can PDF To Go read dynamic .pdf forms?
I'd appreciate any help that any one can offer.
- Scott
P.S. does anyone know which version of Adobe Reader is functionally equivalent to the Blackberry .pdf reader apps? Is it possible to know that, or are they two different creatures altogether?
P.P.S. I figure that alot of people won't have any experience with dynamic .pdf forms... Here is a link to a sample dynamic .pdf form that I created for testing purposes. If you think that you have an app that can read it, please try opening the linked .pdf file on your blackberry. If anyone out there is able to view it, please let me know what software you are using. Thanks alot for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For anyone in the future who has a similar issue, I've come up with a fairly simple workaround. It adds an extra step of work, but it allows you to continue using dynamic forms in your workflow.
The ideal solution is if your office has a server-side adobe document output service. You can push your form to the server, have it extract the data into a datawarehouse, then output a flattened .pdf. A flattened .pdf cannot be (easily) edited, and all code behind is removed. This solution is the 'best', (and it's the only way to flatten an xfa form, as far as Adobe is concerned) but it also costs some coin, especially if you don't have any existing infrastructure to support the server-side service.
The free solution (which I have opted for) is to use a virtual printer to 'print' the document to a suitable format. There are many free virtual printers out there, but I have decided to go with CutePDF Writer. I print to the CutePDF writer, and the output is, essentially, a flattened Blackberry compatible .pdf form. The only issue is that you cannot edit a flattened document (a bonus in my situation, but still something to keep in mind... You can still edit the original document, as the flattened .pdf is a copy, not a transformation.)
You can even add a print button to the form with some JavaScript to specify the printer as 'CutePDF Writer'. Altogether, it's easier than recreating all of the business forms that have been made in a static format, and you can still leverage all the benefits of a dynamic form.
I know that this isn't central to the Blackberry, and I apologize for that, but I had a rough time with this issue, and I'm hoping to help someone with the same issue in the future. Again, thanks to those who helped.

Export/Import xml from dynamic pdf form using java

Hi,
I have been searching for the last 2-3 days on the internet for this. Some posts do talk about it, but none have provided the answer I was looking for. Hopefully this is the correct forum to post the question in.
I am working on a desktop swing application that works on extracting and changing data in a XFA form, I would like to export the form's content modify it and import it back using java. This is so easy with the Adobe Reader, where it nicley exports the form content as an XML document, you can change it manually and the import the data back. I am searching for a way of doing this in java. I found XPAAJ.jar mentioned in some forums, that may make this easy. I havent been able to use it, since I cant find it anywhere.
I found a blog from Mike Potter
http://blogs.adobe.com/mikepotter/2006/07/download_xpaaj.html
This says that XPAAJ is free as long as I use it on forms developed using livecycle. I dont own livecycle, but the forms that I am working has been built using livecycle. So my questions are:
1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
Thanks
Sethu

Hi Sethu;
First, its important to know that xpaaj never was a supported piece of software. It was supplied "as is" with no support from Adobe. It has been pulled and is no longer available from the Adobe web site. Mike's blog is from 2006, so its really old information.
1. Is XPAAJ the correct library to use, to export and import XML data from a dynamic pdf form?
While the xpaaj library will import and export data to/from a form on the client, Adobe now recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms server.
2. Is XPAAJ free to use and distribute as long as it works on pdf forms developed by livecycle?
The license stated that you need to own one of Adobe's server side products (not LiveCycle Designer, but one of the server side LiveCycle products).
3. Where can I download XPAAJ from?
XPAAJ was pulled by Adobe. They found a few bugs and since it was unsupported software they just pulled it from the web site.
4. If XPAAj is no longer available, is there any other free library that does this?
Not from Adobe. Adobe recommends using the LiveCycle ES Forms software for merging data and forms.
5. If there isn't any free library, how much would cost me to use and distribute the library along with my desktop application?
As far as I know there Adobe doesn't have a client side library available for this (merging dynamic XDP based forms with data).

How to save a pdf form with a button on Android?

Hello can anyone inform me with the knowledge of how to save a pdf form after filling with button on an Android device?

It happens automatically. You don't need any code to trigger it.

I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

I want to know what I need and then how to take a pdf form I created in word and add the blue boxes so that anyone can type into my form

Hey john@adobe,
Could you please specify how exactly have you created your form.
You might need to have Acrobat installed on your computer to convert a word document to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat installed? If yes, what version? If no, then please try using the trial version of Acrobat DC (latest version) and access its features:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
Also, let me know what kind of blue boxes are you talking about.
If you want others to edit your PDF form, then you need to make it a fillable form by choosing 'Form Editing' option from Tools pane.
Let me know more on this so that I can help you out.

How to merge dynamic pdf files?

I have two separate dynamic pdf forms that have interactive fields. How can I merge them into one file and maintain it's edit-ability?

Hi, Steve.
I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
My question concerns accessibility.
If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
Any help appreciated.
